Quotes:

“When the individual receives the call to greatness at the inception of a clear goal, they take it, knowing well that it will be the source of their suffering. Suffering that brings fulfillment, and when they have achieved what they've set out to do…it will inevitably lead to a lesson that teaches balance. The period of intense progress will demand contrast with a period of restful peace.”
